Yeah, seriously, Guy, what are you after here? Do you just not understand the purpose of this kit? The arm is adjustable precisely so you can customize your alignment to your own specs. Within reason, the anti-bumpsteer properties are not affected by these fine adjustments. If you have no idea what your alignment should be, then you have no business buying this kit.

the length _wouldn't_ be the same length as the stock one anyways, because the the attatchment point on the upright is lower than stock, therefore the 'kit' would have to be longer.

Otherwise, what's the point of re-engineering the geometry????

The only thing fishy here is why you're trying to insinuate that we're up to something unsavory. Maybe you work for someone who has a stake in discrediting us for some reason? That's all I can think of because this isn't rocket science

The simple truth is this is not an off the rack set one size fits all bolt on setup. You need to bring the car to a competent alignment shop as soon as you install it and have the car aligned to your specs. It's really very simple. Why are you not able to grasp this point? We've sold many dozens of these, all to people on this board, and no one else has had the temerity to come out and say we're being dishonest when they didn't understand the product they purchased

As Tony said, you could have called the shop and gotten an answer rapidly. You could have emailed us for support too but you elected not to do that either. So what's up? Why the rabid desire to stick your foot in your mouth?

Dave the length of that rod has no effect of the anti-bumpsteer portion of the kit. It all has to do with the hieght at which it mounts to the upright.

As long as you were able to achieve the alignment setting that you wanted, you are fine. The kit changes the distance of the outer ball joint from the upright.

Since the bsk changes the height at which the arm mounts to the upright, the 'resting' angle of the arm is changed. The new arc the arm will make in compression/rebound will be more in line with the arc of the other arms, thus decreasing the amount of pushing/pulling of the tire from its set alignment, thus decreasing toe change.

The length adjustment can also be used to help set camber more independently of toe settings, I believe.

TC, sorry if I am wrong on any point.
